[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I [b]don’t understand why it’s all or nothing.[/b] If you have 6 weeks of summer (taking out vacations) and you used to pay for 6 weeks of day camp, then pay for 2-3 weeks of more expensive specialty camps and the rest at home. Or look at half day classes which will cost less than full day programs. What kind of budget are you looking for?

My own kid who will be 12 this summer is doing a mix. She would be bored senseless if she was doing nothing all summer (we’re not in a neighborhood where there are other kids around and I work so can’t take her to do fun stuff.) A week of  overnight Girl Scout camp, a week of rock climbing camp, a couple weeks of crew practice (early morning and the rest of the day free), etc. [/quote]

This. Why is this a choice: skipping vacations so she can have a structured summer with day-camps and adequate socializing. Why not some day camps and some unstructured time and zero skipping of vacations?  Some teen camps go out on an activity each day - Kings Dominion, water park, etc. find ones like that, see if a friend will join. [/quote]
